He'd been a smoker. They found the cancer last fall and it was pretty far along. It's still so quick - he is/was national heavyweight championship and there are current AAA storylines that clearly had been designed with Garza as part of it. It's very sad.

Garza was one of my favorite WCW luchadores in '97/'98 or thereabouts; that corkscrew plancha from the top rope onto the floor (hitting several other wrestlers on the way down) was always a highlight of Nitro, in my opinion.

Ryder's not going anywhere, I saw first-hand a month ago how much merch that guy is selling at shows. I was right! @IAmJericho Chris Jericho Between @theofficialA7X @mcrofficial and Rick Rubin, the front row of RAW was rock star central tonight!
